The architecture of the nervous system of Echiniscus testudo (Echiniscoidea, Heterotardigrada)

Journal of Limnology, 2013
Despite the fact that there are several descriptions of the nervous system of Tardigrada there is still dispute about how to interpret the organisation of these structures.

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 23, Page 3417-3443, December 2025.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Ecological and Genetic Insights Into Antarctic Fairy Shrimp, Branchinecta gaini Daday, 1910 (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) Populations on King George Island, Antarctica

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The Antarctic fairy shrimp (Branchinecta gaini) is the largest inland animal in Antarctica and a key component of its freshwater ecosystems. Despite its broad distribution, little is known about its population structure, habitat tolerance, and potential vulnerability to climate change. This study investigated the occurrence, genetic structure,

Human Impact on Microinvertebrate Diversity and Distributions: Questioning the Resilience of Tardigrades

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Tardigrades, commonly known as some of the toughest organisms on Earth, like many other microscopic invertebrates, are often overlooked in biodiversity monitoring. Our study aimed to elucidate the impact of environmental disturbance caused by anthropogenic activity on tardigrade diversity and distributions.

Fake Webs, Real Results: Artificial Spiderwebs for eDNA Collection

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
We designed artificial spiderwebs to see if they are as good as natural spiderwebs at capturing airborne DNA. In comparison to water eDNA methods, both natural and artificial spiderwebs revealed a distinct signature of terrestrial communities, while artificial webs served as a good proxy for natural webs ‐ without the negative impacts on spiders and ...

Macroecological and Biogeographic Patterns of Kinorhyncha in the Iberian Peninsula

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Biogeography and macroecology aim to understand the processes that determine patterns in nature. In the marine environment, most of what we know has been documented for fish and macrobenthic organisms. As a result, this knowledge is negatively biased towards smaller benthic organisms, including meiofauna.

PRELIMINARY DATA ON TARDIGRADA FROM THE ARMENIAN FORESTED AREA

Bulletin of the Iraq Natural History Museum
Tardigrada is a phylum that has never been studied in Armenia, along with many other arthropod groups. Our research is about terrestrial tardigrade species. This study is the first paper on tardigrades from Armenia.

The deep sea elements of the Faroe Bank tardigrade fauna with a description of two new species

Journal of Limnology, 2007
Two new marine Tardigrada species are described from the calcareous sediments at the steep slope of the Faroe Bank in the North Atlantic Ocean. Parmursa torquata sp. nov. can be distinguished mainly by small cylindrical secondary clavae, and the presence
